Josh, thank you for these words. I had not heard of you but one of your podcasts was shared amongst us. I was grateful to see in it that you are taking on this trans cult but you had also addressed a parent on here by saying, “You are responsible.” I’m thankful to read that this is not your view. Thanks for fighting with us against this beast.

I am not outside this experience. It has been my family too, so I am in the demographic shared by many here, though when I disagree, some switch to treating me as an "outsider" so that they may view me as an abuser rather than engaging.
I do believe parents bear responsibility. Just as everyone involved bears some responsibility. Yes, I believe some parents are much more directly responsible for the fact that their kids have gone down this path than others.
I believe there are some who have been bulldozed and abused by a powerful system despite fighting back. And I believe there are many people somewhere in the middle.
This is not black and white to me, but shared.
Do I think the buck has to stop with the parent? Yes. I also know that this is the worst and highest price a parent could pay for even honest mistakes. With the entire political, educational, and medical apparatus arrayed against us, yeah, we have big enemies out there. It's wholly unfair. It's evil.
It's a horror, and every parent and family member enduring this is suffering immensely. I hope for the quickest possible end to this for all the children and families being destroyed by this.
I’m sorry to hear that this is part of your story as well. Our autistic son came out in 2014. We had no idea what hit us other than it was not the truth. Our marriage remained intact but it split our family down the middle as some felt affirmation was “life saving”. I lost the title of “Mom” with one and six months later we lost our son suddenly to an online predator. I would give my life for our children but I will not compromise on Truth for the sake of all.
